U Saved Me lyrics

I was riding in my car one day

In the express lane rollin on the freeway

And suddenly the phone rings then I

Reached down beside me then i look

On the floor felt on the backseat

See I was drinking while I was driving

Never thinking bout what I was doing

I turned around and before i knew it

Here comes this truck now

Doctor said don't think he gonna make it

Family said make the funeral arrangements

Unplug the machine he's gone now

Then told my wife to be strong now

Then a small voice said told me

If you promise to stop drinking

I surrendered on that day

Now for ten years i've been straight

You saved me [4x]

Gave me a second chance

You saved me [3x]

You saved me

Now i've been sitting in this chair

Waiting on the phone to ring

Praying up to God that someone will call

Me with a job opening

Cause it's been so hard for me

Month to month struggling to eat

But still there was no answer

I stop believing in his word and

Got so mad at him and

When somebody said God's good

I just laugh at 'em

But in the nick of time his blessing

Rain on me

By his grace the phone ring

A lady said were hiring and

That's when I knew

You saved me [4x]

Now i was 18 out there on the block

Selling drugs

With a gun at my waist

And for people I had no love

See the streets was my home

Family and friends were all gone

Had no one to trust

And deep inside i was all alone

And a deal went bad one day

And it was enough to pause me

I was shot 4 times and before i

Knew it I was on my knees

Blood pushin out my body

My heart's beating faster don't know what i'm gonna do

I don't think i'm gonna last then

I begain to flash back on the things

I done in my past

Then I heard a small voice that said

I'll give you peace if you believe

I accepted Christ that day

Halilujah now i'm free

You saved me [4x]

I was in the aisle of the grocery store

With a pain in my chest and I'm wondering

Where did it come from (I got tested)

And the results came back

And the doctor said i'm sorry but u got cancer

I could not beleive it so

I call my mama to calm my nerves

she got down on her knees

(mama) she said a prayer for me

(mama) just keep on thanking Jesus

(mama) he'll give you what you need

(thank you Jesus)

Now that was five years ago

I don't have that pain no more

Doc said you can go home

Cause all your cancer's gone

You saved me [4x]

You saved me (said you saved me)

You saved me (but you saved me)

You saved me saaaved me

Gave me a second chance (second chance)

Halilujah saved me

Saved me saved me

Wooooooh You saved me

You gave me it was by grace You saved me

I'm so thankful that You looked down on me

Saw me standing there

I was at the end of my rope no where to go

And you gave me

No where to go (and you saved me)

I was down and out 2

I was doing drugs 2

I was running the streets 2

Never felt love

I was wilding out

You saved me

You stepped in ooh save me

You saved me
